Project Server 2013 timesheets not showing up for approval

We're using Project Server 2013 and entering timesheets. I'm a team manager who is set up as the timesheet approver for a few people, including Nicole.
Nicole opens her timesheet and fills it in for the week. She applies time to four Administrative tasks and two project tasks.
Nicole submits her final timesheet for approval. (We have also tried having her save it first, then to the final submission, with the same results.)
I go to my approval screen and see the four Administrative tasks listed as separate lines. I do not see the project tasks.
I select the four Administrative tasks and approve them. They disappear when the screen is submitted.
In previous weeks, and with some other employees, I would immediately see a single line item that said "My Timesheet" for Nicole which I could then approve. But recently this stopped, and I do not see her timesheet.
If Nicole checks the status of the timesheet it says it's submitted to me.
On my Approval page if I go to History, Timesheets this timesheet is not listed under "approved by me" nor is it under "my resources unsubmitted timesheets." It's in limbo.
The only fix is for Nicole to recall the timesheet and resubmit it. Then it shows up on my Approval page.
Any suggestions?

We resolved this. The solution was as follows:
Go to PWA Settings, and under Security choose Manage Groups.
Click the Team Members group.
Scroll to the Categories section, and in the Selected Categories area highlight (select)
My Tasks.
Click the box to allow the permission called Adjust Timesheet which is under the grouping for Resource.
Now don't ask me how or why that works. It's not a setting that intuitively matches what's going on. But it fixed it for us.
By the way, we had a number of other timesheet issues (view failures, etc.) that were all cleared up when we installed the April 2014 Cumulative Update for Project Server 2013, as well as SharePoint 2013 SP1. I highly recommend both.

Workflow in Project server 2013 online not going particular stage after Approval

Hi All,
i have created workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 for project server 2013 online. and i have also set the approver after the first stage. when i create a project using this workflow, project is created successfully and the approval task also go for
a approval to specific user. and i have set the property that after approval it has to go on specific stage. but the problem is when user approve the task it shows approved but my stage in workflow is remain same. it is not going to any stage.
i don't know why this type of problem is occur.
FYI, i have created same workflow for Project server 2013 on premise(Which is installed in my server) and
it is working fine but when i want to deploy this workflow in
project server 2013 online its giving error.
so please help me to solve this type of issue.
Thanks

I am also experiencing issues with this. After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
All other desired workflow actions work as expected. Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
workflow fails.
What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution?

Hi Siriosus,
Indeed you do need Sharepoint Server 2013
Enterprise for Project Server 2013.
See article below where it is mentionned:
Project Server 2013 requires the Enterprise edition of SharePoint Server 2013. Prior versions of SharePoint Server and SharePoint Foundation 2013 are not supported.

Error in Project Server 2013

Hi,
I set myself as team member in Project Server 2013, when i click on Project,Approvals and Timesheet i receive the below error:
"Cannot communicate with the server. Verify your connection and try again"
I have other account with Project Manager rights, with that account i can open these pages.
Please help.
K.Gokulraj

Hi Gokulraj,
What permission mode are you using in project server 2013? Is it "project permissions mode" or "SharePoint permissions mode"?
If you are using "project permissions mode", then go to Server Settings -> Manage users and click on the user with "team member" permissions to edit.
In the next page, expand "Global Permissions" and "View Approval" permission.
It could be the issue with the categories and category level permissions.
Happy troubleshooting...

Project Server 2013: customize JSGrid (Project Center, MyTasks, etc...) ?

Hi,
In Project Server 2010, it was possible to customize the JSGrid, thanks to the tutorial included in the SDK "Walkthrough:
Customizing the PWA Ribbon and Accessing the JS Grid". It works really fine, and I used this possibility in many Project Server 2010 implementation for Customer.
I would like to make it on Project Server 2013, but the same code doesn't work. I found some posts
here, where people had the same issue, but no clear answer.
The Project Server 2013 SDK does not contain the same tuto upgraded for 2013, and I hope that this possibility still exists.
If somebody has a very basic example to show how to execute some custom code on Focus Change event, or clic, or what ever event happening on this JSGrid, it would be very nice to share.
My installation is On Premise, not in On Line.
Thank you for your help !

Hi,
In fact for filtering, you have to use delegate.
The "HandleFilter" function must be created by you. You have to bind this function to the correct delegate.
For filtering, the main delegates are:
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.AutoFilter
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.LaunchFilterDialog
SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.GetAutoFilterEntries
The post
here explains the process for 2010. For Project Server 2013, the difference is that we don't have the same objects.
Here you can find the way to declare the delegate in Project Server 2013, with the SetDelegate method:
var pc; // Contains the Project Center extension object.
var JsGridControlInstance;
var JsGridSatellite;
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ProjectCenterMain");
function ProjectCenterMain() {
pc = new ProjectCenterExtension();
function ProjectCenterExtension() {
if (typeof projectCenterComponent === 'undefined')
return;
JsGridSatellite = projectCenterComponent.get_GridSatellite();
JsGridControlInstance = projectCenterComponent.get_GridSatellite().GetJsGridControlInstance();
JsGridSatellite.get_tableViewParameters().bAutoFilterableColumns = true;
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.AutoFilter, HandleFilter);
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.LaunchFilterDialog, FilterDialog);
JsGridControlInstance.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.GetAutoFilterEntries, FilterMenu);
function HandleFilter(newState) {
alert("Filter !");
function FilterDialog(param) {
alert("FilterDialog !");
function FilterMenu(param) {
alert("FilterMenu !");
My advice to search, is to put a break point on the ProjectCenterExtension function, and through debugger, tou can drill down in the main methods and properties.
Often you will see functions with get_XYZ(), and then be able to make the matching with the Project Server 2010 syntax.
For the filtering implementation, I beleive that you can deal with your article based on 2010: it should work as soon as you will get the equivalent objects in 2013.
Hope it helps !

Project Server 2013: Project progress task available to only assigned resources.

I have a project in project server 2013. In that I am preparing the project plan. Now I want that only the respective person to whom I have assigned the task can modify the % complete. Not even the owner can edit it.
Shruti Vyas

Project owner can modify the the plan either from PWA or from MPP.
As far as % complete is concerned for assignment only Resource who will be assigned to the task can fill the actual for the task either from Task page or from Timesheet page if Single Entry Mode is enabled. No one else can fill the actual for the task from
Timesheet page and task page. AS assignment will be available to the only that resource who is assigned to the task.
But Project owner can do the modify the project plan any time either from MPP or from PWA you can not restrict him/her. But as far as % complete is concerned do the setting
To prevent the project manager from updating a team member's actual time worked, select the Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets check box. it will be
available on server setting --> Task setting and display

Task Status in Project Server 2013

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could give me an overview of the Task Status options in Project Server 2013? I am a current 2010 user but we have not been able to use this feature in the past. Specifically, I am wondering:
1. Can I assign an entire task to a user? In 2010 I had to assign resources to a task and then update each assignment. I want to be able to assign the entire task and have the user tell me the Physical % Complete, Actual Start, and Actual Finish at the task
level.
2. Is there any kind of built in what-if analysis feature? Can a program manager review the impact of the submitted status before accepting?
Thanks,
Jessica
Jessica Hancock

Hi Jessica,
Basically, task statusing and timesheeting has not changed between 2010 and 2013 versions. The first would be about the need (or not) to activate the Single Entry Mode, meaning a single interface for task statusing and timesheet. This DO matters since in
case you activate it, the task tracking method will be forced to "hours of work done per period". See in this
blog the others methods.
1- From the PM's point of view, you can in MS Project Pro or PWA assign one or more resources to a single tasks, creating then the corresponding number of assignments. From there, each single user assigned on this task will have to enter his own tracking
on his assignment. As you'll see in the blog, the % physical cannot be entered by the team member, only the % complete if the 1st method is chosen.
2- About this what-if analysis, the PM can click in the approval center on the "preview updates" before accepting or rejecting. He will be able to vizualise what will his project plan look like in case he approves the task updates versus what does
his plan actually look likes. See reference
here.
Hope this helps,

Project Server 2013 - Approved Tasks not applied to Project Schedule

Environment Details: Microsoft Project Server 2013 SP1
When an Resource completes a tasks within the Task or Timesheet page at the end of each day, the tasks is routed to the Project Owner for approval. The Project Owner (Project Manager) approves the task. During this process no errors are displayed.
When the Project Owner (Project Manager) goes into the Project Professional 2013 client to view how the project is progressing, and update the project completion date, the updates is not applied to the project.
This worked for some time, but has recently stopped working with no changes made to the environment. Any help would be great, as our project manager's are manually updating the tasks prior to approving them so they can report back on the project each week.

Hello ProjMgrMatt
Sounds pretty serious, but I think something is missing somewhere.
Make sure that the Status Manager field is the same as the Project Owner.
Check to queue to be sure that nothing is stuck and waiting.
Create a new project, publish, submit, approve, etc and see if it still happens.
Cheers!.

Hi Ximet,
If you go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage Servers in this Farm. Do you see Upgrade Available for the servers.
If they show Upgrade Available, can you run the SharePoint Config Wizard one more time or you can also try running the command "psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force"
Just curious to know if the issue is because the binaries have not been updated properly.
In case the issue persists and is impacting your business, I would suggest that you raise a support ticket with Microsoft so that we can further assist you on the case.

Create template for a task in Project Server 2013

Hi everyone,
I've got a little question, yes, again :-)
Some user of Project Server haven't scheduled tasks, so they need to create their tasks by the "My Tasks" page, "Add a row" then "Add a new task".
Unfortunatly, these users create a lot of little tasks but which are the same excepted for an information (like number of the bug ticket) and my bosses want to create a template of a task for create this kind of tasks very quickly but I do not find a way to
do that.
Is it possible with Project Server to do something like this ?
Thanks to you,
Patmol

Patmol6 --
There is no default functionality in Project Server 2013 that would allow a team member to create a new task from some kind of custom template. It MIGHT be possible through custom software development, however. Hope this helps.

Notification to Manager if task/Time sheet not approved in Project Server 2013

is there any option if any user(Resource) updated his/her task & sent to his/her Manager for approval
and Manager is not approved ( say in said timeline or days) then some notification should go to one step up (as Reporting Manager of that Manager who not approved task update & time sheet) in Project Server 2013?

A solution could be to create email subscriptions on an SSRS report containing the non-approved task updates by manager.
See reference here:

Hope this helps,

Task custom field and formula custom field don't correspond Project Server 2013

Hi people, I have an interesting case in Project Server 2013 SP1 CU Apr:
I have a custom task number field called AM. This field get's filled by a PSI action with actual material costs from an external system.
I also have a custom task cost formula field that is called AM*. This field is a formula field that has the formula [AM]. And summary tasks use the formula field as well.
As soon as I create a project, assign costs in the external system and let PSI fill the values within AM I get correct values in AM. But nothing is calculated on AM*. If I edit the project in the browser and publish, check in and revisit the project
AM* still isn't filled.
If I open the project in MS Project Pro the calculation comes through nicely, however I do not want to use MS project Pro to see correct data in browser.
Some tests I have already done:
I have noticed that when I create a new calculated task field AM2*, this get's calculated correctly on the already existing task.
I have also noticed that opening the custom field in server settings and just saving the field creates correct values on AM*.
What is going on? I don't want to save the custom formula field every day... There are 11 custom formula fields in the environment at the moment.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the quick response. Please note that the fieldnames are [AM] and [AM*]. There is a difference in field name due to the astrix. However I did think about the situation and changing one of the field names all together didn't do anything for the
situation at hand.
It looks like some kind of refresh thing, because without changing anything in the custom field just saving the field in server settings will turn op good values. However, values already turned up good in Project Professional 2013. And that suggest
that there is a calculation error on the PWA side wouldn't you say?
Anyway, thank you for taking time to look into this matter.
Erik
